The bringing of the vehicle, which should be changed

Also for the import of furniture, and further inventory by a moving container is required to submit the appropriate papers.
All papers other than the motor vehicle office, as indicated above

Important is,
come by ferry to the Canary Islands by car

It can be seen whether you are still in the 6-month period.

Within this time, you can then have your vehicle changed to a Spanish license plate.
The new registration of your vehicle in the Canary Islands incurs additional costs, including the TÜV, which is called ITV here.

The car must therefore by the Spanish TÜV, which is usually quite simple here, the vehicle is fine.

Processing of the on-site registration in Spain:

For the sake of simplicity, one can have the introduction / re-registration of his car carried out by a responsible Asesoria, which offers these services.
This then usually also German, so that it is correspondingly easier

So you give the settlement in competent hands and has it easier, but you have to pay extra for these services.

From an engineer, the so-called Homologación of the vehicle is carried out in the entswprechenden workshops. The expert then draws up the certificate for the car

The Asesoria then informs about the costs, which one has to pay.
Among other things, the registration tax of the car s has to be paid to the responsible tax office as well as the vehicle tax at the responsible city hall.
Once all necessary payments have been made, and the necessary certificates are available, the vehicle owner gets the approval, the Permiso de Circulación and a new license plate at the vehicle registration office.

Important is a car insurance with a Spanish insurance, as soon as the license plate for the car is present.
